Currency and Credit was widely used as a textbook in the 1920s. It became a standard text for the Cambridge Tripos in economics as well as overseas, including in the Harvard economics department, where Hawtrey taught as a visiting professor in 1928– 1929. David Laidler has documented how during the interwar years Hawtrey’s infl uence even reached the Chicago School of Economics (Laidler 1993).
